Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
Ask whether assignment is available for your policy and location, what fees apply, and what you must pay upfront. MedaSynq does not arrange assignments.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
Under the FTC Funeral Rule, funeral homes must give price information by telephone and a written General Price List when you visit in person. Federal law does not require them to send the list by mail or email. You can select individual goods and services and use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“My family and I have been very satisfied with the services and the most wonderful care we have received from the office personnel of Celestial memorial. My grandparents are already buried there. Valerie has truly went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of and everything was done completely right for my mother's service & burial this year. We still have three more plots there. She is a true blessing that this company has her. She is not only a business person, but she gets personal in with the family whole hearted and treats you like her own family, not just a customer. We love and appreciate her and hope she will be there for our future family member's service's when needed.”
— Rennie Roberson
“Working with Celestial Memorial Gardens to plan my father’s burial and memorial was a profoundly positive experience. Every staff member I encountered demonstrated professionalism, empathy, and meticulous attention to detail. Pam and Valerie deserve special recognition for their consistent respect and courtesy; they personally guided me through edits and additional adjustments with patience and care until everything was exactly right. The team went above and beyond to create the first Columbia PD badge emblem for my father’s monument, ensuring his decades of service are visibly recognized as well as for anyone else who retired from that department or present and or future are now officially available for their everlasting grave. Their communication was clear, timelines were met, and the final monument reflected thoughtful craftsmanship and meaningful personalization. I am deeply grateful and honored by their work and wholeheartedly recommend Celestial Memorial Gardens to anyone seeking compassionate, top‑notch memorial care.”
